Here is a more or less complete list of optional dependencies (package
names may vary since it is from the Arch Linux PKGBUILD):


optdepends=('gnome-web-photo: web screenshot support'
		'perl-image-exiftool: read and write EXIF data'
		'nautilus-sendto: send screenshots via mail'
		'perl-goo-canvas: editing screenshots'
		'perl-gtk2-appindicator: AppIndicators support'
		'perl-path-class: Imgur and Dropbox upload support'
		'perl-lwp-protocol-https: Imgur and Dropbox upload support'
		'perl-net-oauth: Imgur and Dropbox upload support'
		'bc: 3D Rotate and 3D Reflection plugins support')

Maybe some Ubuntu user could check which of them are missing in 18.04?

** Description changed:

  The ability to edit screenshots using shutter has been broken because
  Ubuntu 18.04 no longer provides these packages in its repository:
  
  1) libgoo-canvas-perl (needed for edit feature)
  2) libgoocanvas-common (needed for edit feature)
  3) libgoocanvas3 (needed for edit feature)
  4) libgtk2-appindicator-perl (needed for AppIndicator)
  
  To understand the usefulness of this (now missing) feature watch this video:
  https://youtu.be/RPkywfQ8BRA
  
  As you can see, Shutter has a streamlined work-flow when it comes to
  1) Capturing Screen-shots
  2) Editing Screen-shots
  3) Sharing screen-shots with others via URL.
  
  It is a wonderfully productive tool for communication. They say a
  picture is worth a thousand words. I say that a screen-shot edited in
  shutter is worth 2 thousand words. Plus, it is the fastest way I've seen
  to accomplish the work-flow shown in the video-link above.
